Often taken for granted, feet and ankles provide the silent support that powers every step, run, and leap throughout a lifetime. The attention generally afforded to other parts of the body doesn't usually extend to feet and ankles unless discomfort arises. Yet, for Dr Ira Bernstein, understanding why foot and ankle care is essential offers a case for proactive health measures.
The foot and ankle complex contains over one-quarter of the bones in the human body, alongside a network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
This region is responsible for crucial functions—balance, propulsion, and the anchoring of postural stability. If the foundation is compromised, whether through injury or neglect, the consequences reverberate upwards, impacting knees, hips, and the spine.
